A consistent theme in American history has been an evolving understanding of freedom and liberty. In the 19th century, this meant freedom for enslaved Africans; in the 20th century, women and minorities were liberated from their state of political impotence by securing the right to vote; and in the 21st century, LGBT people have succeeded in challenging long-standing cultural norms associated with privacy and religion.

Puritans and Predestination in The Crucible Puritans and Predestination are viewed throughout The Crucible by the Puritans lifestyle and their judgment against anything that is not in the Bible or said to be evil.
